Doris Arlene Cross

Dorie and I were room mates at MSU. Even though I graduated a year before Dorie we had remained good friends for almost 60 years. We traveled Europe together in 1957 and shared many good times.
After Dorie married J.O.they along with Janet, our third room mate and our husbands we became a six pack and enjoyed many travels and fun times together. We will miss her very much

Doris was Auxiliary President when I was CEO at Munson Medical Center. She had a very calm, professional air about her and did a great job leading the auxilians.
She was also a tireless volunteer at our church, First Congregational, where she did many things behind the scenes, including hosting receptions.
Doris gave much of herself without expecting anything in return. No doubt she received many inner rewards for her work.
She will be missed.

I will miss Doris around Munson Medical Center's halls and board rooms. Doris was a gracious lady. She gave of herself with style and compassion. She will be missed dearly.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

My beloved Aunt, whom I spent weeks with when I was a little girl. I remember one shopping event she took my sister, Melinda, and I on. We where looking for just the right outfits to wear at our brother's wedding. We found bright yellow dresses accessorized with the cutest white bonnets and lace gloves. She was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and she was the godmother of my daughter, December. I loved her very much, she was a big part...
